Re: Child Support - My ex lost his job

He can file a motion or OSC to change child support. The real issue is can he get the child support reduced. Child support is based on his income, your income and the amount of time the child is with each parent. You should consult with an attorney regarding the amount of child support. If there is a significant discrepancy in your incomes he could be ordered to pay your attorney fees.
